Halloween Treats

A little late for a Halloween post, but this was one of our attempts to spread some American holiday love around Germany.  I made these little presents for all of the husband's coworkers, 24 total.  Each one was full of American candy (Snickers, Twix, Pez, M&M's, etc.)  The husband made the little gift tag.  He may have been an elementary school teacher in a previous life.  Or just lived with one the last three years. 

Close up before delivery.

Pretty sure he gave one to the guy painting our apartment building stairwell too.
According to the Germans, Halloween has only become popular here over the last five years.  Still, it isn't anywhere near as popular as it is in the US.  Germany has a lot to look forward to in the next five years as Halloween catches on, including the "Slutty XYZ" costume phenomenon.  All I noticed were witches and vampires here.  Their Halloween is so innocent.
